Summary:
A July 24 Jonathan Schlefer article, "Market Parables and the Economics of Populism: When Experts are Wrong, People Revolt", in Foreign Affairs. Schlefer cites the Cambridge Capital Controversy as a demonstration that the neoliberal political project of remaking the world around unembedded markets is doomed to failure. A September 11 interview with Daniel Kahneman in which he basically credits Richard Thaler with inventing behavioral economics.

Richard Thaler's anomaly columns in the Journal of Economic Perspectives I have not read Nancy Maclean's Democracy in Chains. Marshall Steinbaum reviews this book in Boston Review. Henry Farrell & Steven Teles respond.
